Power supply will improve further in next month: Nasrul

State minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid said the situation of power supply has gradually improved in the current month and it will improve further in the next month.

He said on Saturday while speaking virtually at a discussion organised by Bangladesh Power Development Board  (BPDB) marking the National Mourning Day.

The entire country experienced power outage for 16-18 hours daily before 2009, he said.

BPDB Chairman Mahbubur Rahman chaired the meeting, which was also addressed, among others, by former Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister Kamal Abdul  Naser Chowdhury and Power Secretary Habibur Rahman.

He requested all to be more patient and said Bangladesh will become a prosperous country under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

For improving the power situation, the Premier implemented a number of programmes to reach electricity to every house in Bangladesh, he added.
